If someone had told me a few years ago that I’d be taking cold showers and loving them, even in winter (!) I would have told them they'd lost their minds. My hubs has been telling me for years to do it, and I always gave him the big eye
roll.

But here I am doing it and loving it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Don't get me wrong, right before I ease into the cold stream of water I think WTF, but just for a sec.

Aside from the personal feeling of victory of actually doing it, there are so many health benefits!
*increased immunity
*increased circulation
*youthfulness
*strengthened nervous system
The list is long! You can look it up to read more about it.
- I start with brushing my skin with a dry body brush
-Then massage with almond oil

-Then the shower on and start with extremities, massaging as they are in the water
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Massage the body all over using one foot to massage the other foot and calf, and then switch. Women – massage your breasts! This is important for cancer prevention.

-Dry off briskly
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Then I get dressed and go about my day.

Do not take my word for it. Try it and see how it feels. Experience is everything. - Korrin
